Tbf they do fit in quite a lot of houses, they just also don’t fit quite a lot on that same note. They definitely don’t fit every house or even most houses but there’s still a lot that they do fit in. They’re pretty easy going, gentle dogs once they’re old enough to have calmed down and you usually won’t have to worry about them biting someone like some breeds. They are also very forgiving and hard to mess up unlike a lot of other breeds.

How many people actually hunt with their Setters, Goldens and Labradors?

I agree. There is so many labs and goldens in rescues right now because people expect what they see online a calm, easy going, and super easy dog to have.
Dont let the internet fool you any hunting breed has tons of energy and although some are easy to train many require 3 hours every day of the week for months to get them perfected.

I've never actually heard of really calm labs every one I've interacted with in any capacity acts like you funneled sugar into a toddler

Field labs and show labs are tremendously different

True. There really aren't a lot of show dogs besides the 4H projects around here period. We had a lady in town that used to have two gorgeous Wolfhounds that I always loved watching walk past at my Domino's

You missed the next part or what? Hunting breeds don't fit a lot of households. They're not the most common breeds because they fit a lot of households, they're the most common breed because there aren't enough resources out there to educate the general public on finding the proper breed for your lifestyle. The adopt don't shop mentality doesn't help. If all there is in the shelter is labs, then people who don't know how to reach an ethical breeder, will get the

You're projecting
I haven't even advocated that anyone should rescue an ant farm, let alone a dog breed, should you wind up in court, already has a stereotype that is going to either require that you retire much later than planned, or change how your currently retired.

That's all

Dogs that are going to make people fearful at the park just isn't my thing. I'd rather have a dog that children can pet.

Everyone is different

Gotta just love the smiles!

That’s awesome! I love wolfhounds but too much dog for me

But do you like them enough to rescue one? (Loaded question)
